Thanks so much, Alamo-Girl, for your kind encouragements! Of course, I do suspect some of our friends here do not have the least clue what I'm talking about.... sigh.....

You know what i think: There are really only two kinds of people in the world, those who look at what is directly, and those who look at what is through the filter of a doctrine. Many of our friends seem definitely to fall into the latter camp.

Now, shall I be flamed for that remark?

Thanks so much for writing, dear friend!

If you have been "flamed," then I would like to apologize on behalf of other posters. Name-calling has no place on this or any other thread. Period.

But as for your post....

There are really only two kinds of people in the world, those who look at what is directly, and those who look at what is through the filter of a doctrine.

Funny you should mention that - the only ones with a "filter" are those who deliberately ignore scientific evidence if it doesn't conform to their religious dogma. That PC is the best example of why "Intelligent Design" is not science.

The only flame you'll get from me, BB, is because of my ever-growing cyber passion for you.

So very true, betty boop! And if you are to be flamed, then I shall be flamed as well. Thank you so much for all your excellent posts!

(And I do think everyone will eventually "get it".)

Actually, there are three kinds of people in the world. Those who can count, and those who can't.
